Verification forms are not required for students currently enrolled in LAUSD (except LAUSD independent charter schools). If/when a Gifted Magnet/SAS site contacts the late applicant about an available seat, verification must be provided at that time. For District applicants, this will involve communication between the two District schools (Gifted Magnet or SAS site AND student’s current school of attendance). No Verification of Eligibility form is needed for District applicants.

The parents/guardians of private school, independent charter, and non-L.A. Unified students who are applying to a Gifted Magnet Program or Schools for Advanced Studies must follow the procedures below. This includes incoming kindergarten SAS applicants who are attending a non-L.A. Unified preschool or transitional kindergarten (TK). It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to verify that the student's current school of attendance has submitted the required verification form.

If/when a Gifted Magnet/SAS site contacts the late applicant about an available seat, verification must be provided at that time. For non-district applicants, the parent/guardian must request that the non-district school complete the applicable Verification of Eligibility form and submit it directly to the Gifted Magnet/SAS site that has offered the seat. The form should NOT be sent to Unified Enrollment since late verification is processed at the school level, not centrally.

Please download and share the applicable form with your child’s current non-district school of attendance:
